The director of revenue may authorize banks or trust companies to receive and give a receipt for any tax imposed under sections 143.011 to 143.996, in such manner, at such times, and under such conditions as he may prescribe; provided, all banks and trust companies authorized to receive and receipt for deposits of federal withholding of income tax shall be authorized by the director of revenue to receive and receipt for any tax under sections 143.011 to 143.996. The director of revenue shall prescribe the manner, times, and conditions under which the receipt of tax by such banks and trust companies is to be treated as a payment of tax.

2. The director of revenue shall as soon as practicable give notice to each person liable for any amount of tax, addition to tax, additional amount, penalty, or interest, which has been assessed but remains unpaid, stating the amount and demanding within ten days of the date of the notice and demand payment thereof. Such notice shall be left at the dwelling place or usual place of business of such person or shall be sent by mail to such person's last known address.

3. If the amount stated in the notice provided in subsection 2 of this section remains unpaid, the director of revenue shall certify the name of any person from whom any tax under sections 143.011 to 143.996 shall be due to the attorney general. Suit shall be instituted in any court of competent jurisdiction by the attorney general, or by the prosecuting attorney of the county at the direction of the attorney general, in the name of the state, to recover such tax and enforce the lien therefor in the same manner as provided by law in civil actions. In such action, the certificate of the director of revenue showing the amount due shall be prima facie, but not conclusive, evidence of the amount due and the compliance with all provisions of sections 143.011 to 143.996 relating to the assessment of the tax.
